Sunan at-Tirmithiy كتاب فضائل القرآن باب ما جاء فى فضل سورة البقرة وآية الكرسى
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِىٍّ الْخَلاَّلُ الْحُلْوَانِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِىِّ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ مَوْلَى أَبِى أَحْمَدَ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَعْثًا وَهُمْ ذُو عَدَدٍ فَاسْتَقْرَأَهُمْ فَاسْتَقْرَأَ كُلَّ رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مَا مَعَهُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَأَتَى عَلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْهُمْ مِنْ أَحْدَثِهِمْ سِنًّا فَقَالَ مَا مَعَكَ يَا فُلاَنُ. قَالَ مَعِى كَذَا وَكَذَا وَسُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ. قَالَ أَمَعَكَ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ. فَقَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَاذْهَبْ فَأَنْتَ أَمِيرُهُمْ. فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَشْرَافِهِمْ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا مَنَعَنِى أَنْ أَتَعَلَّمَ سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ إِلاَّ خَشْيَةَ أَلاَّ أَقُومَ بِهَا. فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَعَلَّمُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَاقْرَءُوهُ وَأَقْرِئُوهُ فَإِنَّ مَثَلَ الْقُرْآنِ لِمَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَقَرَأَهُ وَقَامَ بِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ مَحْشُوٍّ مِسْكًا يَفُوحُ بِرِيحِهِ كُلُّ مَكَانٍ وَمَثَلُ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَهُ فَيَرْقُدُ وَهُوَ فِى جَوْفِهِ كَمَثَلِ جِرَابٍ وُكِئَ عَلَى مِسْكٍ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ.
The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, sent an expedition of many men. He asked each of them to recite what they know of the Qur'ān, until he came to one of the youngest men among them and asked, "What have you memorized, so-and-so?" He said, "I have memorized this and that and the chapter of al-Baqarah." He asked, "Have you memorized the chapter of al-Baqarah?" The man said, "Yes." He said, "Then go, you are their commander." One of the eminent men among them said, "By God, Messenger of God, nothing has prevented me from learning the chapter of al-Baqarah except fearing that I would not be able to recite it in the voluntary night prayer." The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "Learn the Qur'ān, recite it and act upon it, for indeed the parable of the Qur'ān for the one who learns it, recites it and acts upon it, is that of a pouch filled with musk whose scent fills the air around it. And the parable of the one who learns it then sleeps while it is in his heart, is that of a pouch containing musk that is tightly shut.'"
